Leikam, The Fox Guy: Eventually, recognized the mysterious creature as a critically important #species that has long been missing from his beloved #Baylands — a mammal that #California #wildlife officials have hailed as a “#climatehero.”

''Highly pathogenic avian #influenza (HPAI) #H5Nx viruses can cause neurological #complications in many mammalian #species, including #humans.
Neurological disease induced by #HPAI H5Nx viruses in mammals can manifest without clinical respiratory disease.
HPAI H5Nx viruses are more #neuropathogenic than other influenza A viruses in mammals.
Severe neurological disease in mammals is related to the neuroinvasive and neurotropic potential of HPAI H5Nx viruses.''

The last #species to cause a mass #extinction were #plant #life. They added so much #oxygen into the atmosphere so fast, the Earth froze into a #snowball.
#Humans are adding Co2 into the atmosphere so fast, the #Earth is going to get hot like a #fireball.

We will not be the first #species to cause a mass #extinction; #plants beat us to that already (see the Great Dying or Great Oxidization). In fact, I would wager we're being arrogant as a species calling this a sixth mass extinction. Sure, 8 #BILLION #humans seems like a lot, but it's just one species. Hardly qualifies as a MASS extinction.

Home of endangered marsupial hit by state-sanctioned logging in NSW, environmentalists say
"Conservationists say Forestry Corporation of NSW logging operation is ‘knocking to pieces’ a forest home to the greater glider..The greater glider is Australia’s largest gliding marsupial. It was listed as endangered in 2022 after losing significant parts of its habitat to bushfire, drought, land-clearing and logging."

But in 2000, in a special millennial issue of #TheNewYorkTimesMagazine, the Utah prairie dog was featured as one of 10 species most likely to become #extinct by the next millennium. Their fate was to become a ghost #species. I wrote a book on prairie dogs. Every month I sent a picture of prairie dogs in different poses (one with a helmet and bazooka) to friends at #TheUtahNatureConservancy, a playful nudge for #protection.

This one was found at the website of #KenHam (ol’ Hambo) — the ayatollah of Appalachia, the world’s #holiest man who knows more about #religion and #science than everyone else. It’s titled #Scientists Discover Hundreds of Frog #Species “Glow”, and it was written by ol’ Hambo himself.

#Fungi, #bacteria, and #viruses are much more dominant on #Earth than #humans.
They all thrive regardless of our existence; we can not survive without them, or if they increase their lethality.
#ClimateChange seems to be increasing the range and lethality of many fungi, causing more human disease and deaths.
#WarOfTheWorlds may have misidentified the aggressive, invasive #species brought down by #microbes...

I get wanting the #mystery, but the notion of the #LochNessMonster is absurd. There isn't some giant unknown #species lurking beneath the waves of Loch Ness. There can't be. For there to be a #creature, there has to be a #population that has proliferated and thrived for many, many years. It would have to be a large population with biological diversity that exists as part of a larger food chain. If it was real, there would diverse evidence of the species, but there's not.

Visit by an #invasive #species on my windowsill in #Berlin: harvestman #Opilio #canestrinii (#Phalangiidae, #Opiliones). Although #globalwarming has recently made numerous invasive species native to #CentralEurope, some species were able to establish themselves already several decades ago, such as the opilionid presented here.

In America, we barely see any news articles about Canada's #wildfires. But I've seen zero news at all about Canada's #wildlife and #ecosystem destruction. The loss of animal and plant #species should be documented, mourned and fought. Honestly those losses will be harder ones than human loss of homes or cities.
Same for #Hawaii.

Wow! Not every day a new #felid #species is described. However, it may sadly already be #extinct.
